The distribution of infections reminded me of maps of Americans voting for slavery in the 1854 Kansas-Nebraska Act.

I’ve written before here how 1873 Slaughterhouse cases explain resistance to wearing masks for COVID-19.

Perhaps now we see a degree of validation of this history lesson; areas historically where Americans objected to freedom (e.g. abolition 1854, vaccination 2021) are places Americans are most likely to have less freedom.

Speaking of 4th waves, the Modern War Institute at West Point wrote this on the topic of militant resistance to authority:
